– insights from Mikko, probably the world's leading cryptozoologist and Nessie expert
Apparently having badly constructed the whole monstrosity large bits of it now need replacing just months after it was finally finished.
More here – what a calamity!

Yup, the weather has been so wonderful here (touch wood) that while Heathrow Airport in London is shut down by ice and snow we were able to smoke the first rainbow trout in our smoke box in the garden! That’s the earliest start in a year ever!
We’ve kept back a small portion to take down the hill and feed to Nessie, our famous Loch Ness monster.

Yup, incredible temperatures continue and the MET office informs us that this is officially the UK’s seventh warmest October on record since records began! Nessie the Loch Ness Monster may well decide to sunbathe here so watch out for her on our live webcam.
Some exciting travel data you may want to add to your knowledge:
Stagecoach Group is to trial the UK’s first budget sleeper coach service between Glasgow and London. It’s an extremely exciting development and adds a great new and comfortable dimension to visitors to Inverness and those in seek of its famous Loch Ness Monster, Nessie. The articulated buses offer you a seat and proper sleeping birth, toilet, free wi-fi, on-board refreshments and a complimentary overnight pack containing a toothbrush, toothpaste, a bottle of water, an eye mask and a luggage label.
Prices range from £1 – £40 single and the service travels every night. So, you could, for example, fly to London and take the sleeper bus to Glasgow example and take a relaxing overnight bus to Glasgow and arrive there bright and early. You could come straight to Inverness or spend a day in Glasgow first and travel here later. The Glasgow to Inverness Megabus service takes approximately three hours and, once prices start from £1 each way.
So here is a little poem to cheer you us all up:
Dillydallying
When I was a baby I dillydallied in my pram.
In the nursery I discovered other children and we all dillydallied together.
When I was a big boy I went to school and dillydallied even more and later I went to college where some structure was brought to my dillydallying.
And so the years flowed by and I found myself a job where I made money dillydallying.
Now I am retired and I no longer dillydally; these days I just potter.

It was a delight to work with their production team based at Aldourie Castle and to help to make their excellent TV program about Nessie and Loch Ness.
The program is highly informative and puts a postive spin on the monster and avoids the “sad old” bearded debunker men image that has unfortunately surrounded Loch Ness for far too long.
Here at Nessie on the Net we have seen the Loch Ness monster ourselves and even passed a lie detector test administered by a UK government Home Office expert – televised for the Nat Geo documentary.

Our good friend, Kevin Carlyon – High Priest of British White Witches also blessed our Officially Original Loch Ness Webcams.
Good to see you Kevin!

Millions of pounds are being poured into “wind farms” around Loch Ness but wind has dropped off; last winter saw three months of severe cold weather but absolutely no wind – just when it’s energy was most needed.
Professor Kettle believes that the entire wind energy strategy should be scrapped: “We have dependable tidal power so harness that, for the stupid ugly wind turbines”. The professor is usually right and is also worried that Nessie, The Loch Ness Monster, will be harmed. “The wind turbines physically smash up our treasured birds like Golden Eagles but the vibrations they put into the soil may also upset cryptids like the Loch Ness Monster”.
